Constitution

Column: How Did All of This Happen? Part 2 (sponsored)

As I now conclude this particular article, it is just hours away from one of America's most revered events--if not the most. President-elect Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States on the steps of the U.S. Capitol Building at 12:00 noon on January 20, and Mike Pence will be duly sworn in as the Vice-President of the United States.

Senator Square: Carson High senior projects are more than a graduation requirement

Raynna Jackson began helping with Toys for Tots at the Ron Wood center before Thanksgiving in order to fulfill her CHS Senior Project graduation requirement; she decided to help give underprivileged children a Merry Christmas.

She started by putting boxes at CHS and her mother’s place of employment, Natel Company. Toys for Tots serves more than 2,000 Carson City area kids every Christmas, and Raynna took this personally; she wanted to help bring in even more gifts. Raynna ultimately facilitated the gathering of 2 large boxes of toys.

No Room for Faithless Electors

Ten years from now, you probably won't remember Christopher Suprun.

Suprun was chosen by the Texas Republican Party for the Electoral College. For most of our nation's history, this has been a procedural and honorary duty conferred upon loyal activists within the political parties when their presidential candidate carried their state.

Thanksgiving isn't a patriotic holiday per se, but it is full of patriotic feelings as Americans did and should give thanks for our shared blessings as a nation.

American history provides enough examples of petulant third parties handing electoral victory to the wrong candidate. Teddybear Roosevelt's ego gave us Woodrow Wilson. Ross PeeRot gave us Bubba Clinton (and therefore, Hillary???).

Happy Nevada Day

A little good humor on Nevada's 152nd birthday.

Did you know that Nevada became the 36th state admitted to the Union entirely by telegraph?

Three State Ballot Measures We Oppose

Last week we discussed the state ballot measure that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Nevada. We have mixed views on that issue, but there are three other important state ballot questions we oppose.

Question 1 would require background checks for almost all gun sales or transfers. That might sound harmless enough or maybe even beneficial to some folks. But it’s quite the opposite.

Measuring Liberty and Libertarians

Libertarian votes for Hillary

The corrupt Clinton criminals are repeating this strategy of divide and conquer again in this election and every voter should understand that any Republican vote for third parties helps insure victory for the lollipop guild Hillary who is as intelligent, and honest, as she is tall. The Clinton's crime family rose to power using the divide and conquer assistance of Ross Perot. The Clinton's can win again with only a minority of votes because many voters split the electorate three ways.

Measuring Lawless unConstitutional Insanity

Since the rise of the Clinton and Obama Regimes, the Constitution has been shredded by the office of the President. The Congress and the Supreme Court neither has the will nor the majorities needed to reign in the unconstitutional acts of the socialists who are subjugating our constitution and our nation. Foreign interests and money have flooded into our nation usurping the power of the people to rule their own nation.

Measuring Socialist Insanity

The question for a Hillary voter is; Have you learned nothing from eight years of Obamanation socialism and how can another four years of the same failed socialist squandering of taxpayer money ever change anything? Does anyone really believe that socialism will work if we squander more tens of trillions of taxpayer money? In 3700 years of recorded history socialist ideologies have been repeatedly tried and always resulted in the destruction of a nation followed by mass murder from tyrannical dictators. Socialism is slavery.

John Bullis Column: Young Folks are Doing Gifts to Charity

Some younger folks are providing for the financial assistance of their parents or grandparents. If they just give money, it does not reduce the income tax for the young giver. They make the gifts from money left after they pay income taxes.

Know Your Enemy/Understand Your Enemy Part 3: Conclusion (sponsored)

No one should have to fight blindly against the enemy — knowledge IS power, and the truth of any situation even more powerful. No one has ever had all the facts for a set of circumstances or a certain situation, only God has the entire picture, so human expertise has its limitations. However, gathering as many facts as possible, organizing them in a logical progression, studying them carefully, looking for strengths and weaknesses, can ultimately bring together a rather comprehensive picture for all to see.

It May Not Be Our Choice

Event Date: 
May 15, 2016 (All day)

Recently, and over breakfast with two of my friends and colleagues, I was presented with an interesting question.

“What would happen if neither Hillary Clinton, nor, Donald Trump in the general election, did not receive the required Electoral College votes to become President of the United States. What would happen?”

This piqued my curiosity, as the American people are somewhat unsettled as to who they should vote for to be the next President of the United States.

Sandoval Errs: Commerce Tax Repeal Will Not Cause Budget Cuts

Event Date: 
May 11, 2016 - 8:15am

Gov. Brian Sandoval and his allies don’t think voters should have a say on the commerce tax they snuck through in the closing hours of last year’s legislature.
They're entitled to their views. However, they’ve been wildly misrepresenting key facts about the matter and about the actions and words of Ron, who is leading the effort to repeal the tax. Below, we set them and the record straight.

As lead prosecutor, Andrew McCarthy, continued to involve himself and his legal team in further and deeper knowledge of the enemy in order to successfully bring to trial and to win the U.S. government's case against Sheik Abdel Rahman, aka the Blind Sheik, for the World Trade Center bombing which killed and maimed hundreds of Americans in 1993 in New York City.

Repealing the Commerce Tax Will Not Unbalance the Budget

Event Date: 
April 27, 2016 - 9:45am

Recently Ron spoke to an industry group about the petition to give voters the final say this fall on the onerous Commerce Tax passed by the Legislature and Governor last year.

A lawyer for referendum opponents also spoke, and we were appalled at their attitude toward Nevada voters and the grossly false arguments they make against a referendum.

My Second Amendment

The Constitution is the greatest achievement of man to date in defining a government to sustain Liberty for its people. Governments exist between two poles of thought. One pole is the Government is all important and powerful and people exist to serve the Government (slave). The other pole is People create governments to protect their Rights (free). See the Declaration of Independence paragraph two.
